Alabastron
Core-formed, dark blue (cobalt) glass alabastron with turqoise trails vertically combed into a wave decoration. A thread of turquoise glass spirals around the neck and ends around the edge of the mouth. Another turquoise thread spirals around the bottom. The vessel has two lug handles, one on each side of the shoulder. One handle is yellow, the other is dark blue. The mouth has areas of iridescence and the foot has an area of visible cracks that may have been repaired.
